Re: Renault

So... I don't get it. Are these sounds and music supposed to play while driving? Or is the music Dr Jones ripped only from the video demonstration?

Re: The Concerts In China

I just heard what you mean, it's quite obvious indeed... Here's the 1989 version: cic1989.mp3 And here the new master: cic2022.mp3 It' sounds like there's too much compression on it. And here's the 2014 master which is much less compressed but has a brickwall master: cic2014.mp3 Geez! Now I regret ...

Re: Oxymore album, october 21 2022

Rimbert is writing dung about Jarre any chance he has. It's a very unprofessional behaviour. Hmm, yeah, Michel Geiss is okay with the whole situation of him being sidelined. He was at the first Oxymore October concert too. Geiss understands that this is how the business works. You change the people...

Great article (but the Notre Dame concert was the 2020 new year's eve). An excellent write-up of the album.
Thanks! And wow, time flies!

Re: Oxymore album, october 21 2022

What a surprise, Francis Rimbert has no good opinion about the album. :D Anyway, what could be the "echo" in the French public and press? I seem to recall him criticising Electronica as well. Did the two of them fall out? Yes, they did. The last time I interviewed Jarre I asked him but Fi...

Re: The Concerts In China

Here is what Jarre said about TCiC when I interviewed him in 2018: – The first real version I heard of Part 2 was on The Concerts in China (1982) album. And when I finally heard the original, I was disappointed. Because I felt the China version has this energy that is missing from the original. – I ...

Re: A short history of electronic music: the instruments and innovators that defined a genre

The reason for the more positive attitude towards Jarre in the past 15 years is because the people who grew up with his music are now music journalists and writers. The Dylan generation who hated his music have largely retired. I couldn't believe it when Mojo gave Jarre the lifetime achievement awar...

I was not able to attend and completely forgot about the broadcast. Did anyone record it? I'd love to give it a listen. It's not exactly piracy as I of course will buy any official release :-) Go here https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/carrefour-de-la-creation/carte-blanche-jean-michel-jarre An...

Nothing in Norway yet.

Also: Is there supposed to be a deluxe release of this? I read somewhere you could buy a box with the bluray, vinyl, CD and a masterclass from Jarre.

Re: Does JMJ look back on Oxygene 7-13 with some regret?

Here is what Jarre told me about Oxygene 7-13 when I interviewed him in 2018: "– I prefer Oxygene 3 (2016). Oxygene 7-13 wasn’t analogue enough. And that was because we were in this very silly era. It was an era where we started to discover that digital just couldn’t match the warmth of analogu...
